The facility is incredibly clean and super cozy. The staff is super communicative, and they have an entire intake process where they ask what areas you'd like to focus the massage on and where they shouldn't touch and how hard you like your massages, which I appreciated. The prices are amazing for how clean, professional, and knowledgeable the staff is. I came in for a 90 minute deep tissue massage, and they got me in the same day. Nicole was excellent, she absolutely tore up my shoulders just how I wanted her to because of a kink in my shoulder after flying. She asked if the pressure was good and even incorporated some meditation ("breathe in, breathe out"). I've already recommended this place to three other people, and I'm excited to go back! read more

I had the BEST experience at this spa. I had a deluxe Head Spa service and it was a dream. I felt like I was under a warm waterfall and it was so healing. My scalp and overall relaxation levels felt like they got a complete reboot after this massage! It was like going on a vacation and returning in 90 mins. These massages aren't just physically healing they are energetically healing on a deep level. I loved the massage therapist staff and the front desk assistance was so helpful and kind. 10/10 I would recommend and I can't wait for another dreamy Head Spa appointment. I will definitely be getting a package deal so I can come back often! read more

Julie is the best. She has her own technique, she know what she is doing ,she know where to focus on. Thank you for the hard work Julie.

Julie has given me massage many times! She is the best, most skillful, knowledgeable masseuse I have ever used! I have tried dozens of masseuse in Bay Area. I have knots in my neck, back, shoulder. I sure feels much better after every session. I used to be in much pain when she worked on me, now much less pain. I like the way she stretched my extremities and neck. Thank you! read more

Everything about the experience was "holy wow!" You have to feel it for yourself. It was so good, the scalp massage gave me super tingles in my legs. The neurons on my head relaxed my entire body as they relaxed. It's magic. read more

Went to Zen on New Year's Eve. I got the deluxe head spa package and was super disappointed when I left. After paying over $200 with tip, I left with my hair not even brushed out, left with knots in my hair. I feel like that should've been the bare minimum. She also didnt do the steam portion of the experience, my mini facial was just her massaging my face for the entire 15 minutes and then putting on a jelly mask for the duration of my appointment and she didn't even show me my scalp after the treatment. I'm not sure if the lady who did my treatment was new or inexperienced but I'm very disappointed. After seeing so many reviews and videos from people who have come here I had really high expectations. I wouldn't go back. read more

Perfect place. Excellent massage. Nice place. Great massage people. I'll be back asap.

I had a stress headache for three days and a knot near my shoulder. I left pretty relaxed and trusting the masseuse in her mastery. The next day the knot wasn't as much of an issue and my back self adjusted way better. This place is great in knocking out tension. read more

After tried out a couple places, I decided to go back there for a masseur that I tried out before. The night before my appointment, I saw a missed call on my phone while I was busy making dinner. I have a voicemail box set up so I didn't pick up think that if that's a legit phone call, the caller would have left me a message. Turned out that was the Zen massage people tried to tell me my masseur wasn't available. Guess how I found out? Right at the spot after I spent 25 minutes driving there. They never bothered to call me again or left a voicemail, just conveniently decided for me that any masseur is as good. I mean, yes, only if they lived up to their standard. Due to the cancellation policy, and the sunk cost I already spent (means the booking and also time spent going there), what options did I have? So, I go ahead and try out that "as good" masseur - but I don't understand why I didn't get to decide to use who I picked - please don't get me wrong, I completely understand life happens and we needed to accommodate emergency happens in life. I am just confused that how on earth the front desk get to decide they don't need to tell me there's something changed to my booking. Anyway, this as good masseur removed my blanket. With the air conditioner turning so high, I got a chill after my 90-min massage. On that same night, I got a fever of 101. Although this place is clean and well lit, the temperature of the place is not comfortable, plus its use of scent and music is a bit much. I go to a massage place to relax and relieve my stress from work. The front desk's coordination effort gave me the exact opposite of what I have been looking for from a massage place. I am now scratching this place out from my list. read more

Had an amazing therapeutic sacral massage with Andy. I was holding on to a lot of head, neck, shoulder and back tension after the passing of my mother. Andy used clear communication to address my areas of concern with most care and professionalism. My shoulder was released and I was able to gain greater range of motion with no pain. Something no other therapist has been able to accomplish. Highly skilled in using different modalities. Staff is kind, establishment is clean, well lit. I feel thankful for massage therapist like Andy. read more

Had the best massage I've ever had in San Francisco here today. Cindy is AMAZING! Clean location, friendly front desk. I will never go anywhere else. Seriously so impressed by how good this massage was & didn't absolutely break my bank. Warm massage table to lay on & aromas if you so choose. read more

best massage i have ever had! i was visiting San Francisco and just found them on yelp. I was able to book the same day. I do not remember my person's name, but he was a guy. read more

Overall, I feel that time could be well managed. I booked an hour long massage and halfway into the session masseur informed me that its not enough time to cover the body parts I asked to massage. Masseur (don't want to disclose the name publicly) dint do proper massage as I had marked in the original questionnaire sheet and it was not a satisfying massage in general. Also, the massage was very light and gentle than I expected. I even asked the masseur to be stronger but after a minute or so it would become very gentle. I live in the neighborhood and wanted to try this place, and I feel I was not satisfied with the service levels and price charged for the service. There are others options in the area that provide better service for a similar price range or even slightly cheaper. This is just a suggestion - I read Amy is amazing across different reviews. I think this place should leverage Amy's strengths and expertise to coach other masseurs and it could improve overall experience for customers. read more

I've been going here for the last year or so. I've never been disappointed. The place is so welcoming and when you share preferences. They really pay attention.

Zen Massage SF - Zen Buddhist - Massage Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got my first Thai massage here. Let's just say I'm going to stick to Swedish and deep tissue for the rest of my life lol I was already forewarned that Thai massages would feel like another person doing yoga on you, using their entire body to massage you and also it seems like they're part chiro as they tug as your limbs. It's more for those who like a good stretch rather than rest and relaxation. When I get a massage I want to collapse into a dream state. It's not for everyone. The main reason for the 3 stars is I wish my masseuse was more communicative with me as she was bending me in all these positions. I have tendonitis in my shoulders so that really hurt. She should have asked what parts to not pull or put tension. She kept telling me to relax lol how can i relax when you're tugging at my arm sockets ! read more

Visiting my best friend in the Bay Area, she invited me to zen massage, and it's also for my birthday present as well, I had massage before zen, but what Should I say, Best place for massage ever at zen I requested for release the tension from my upper back, I got responses very well and they know what is best for me and also gave me good advice about how to relax at home, they are very good and not just taking care me in the shop, they are giving me good advice for life, good for them. Good for me read more

One of the best in the city, you'll absolutely get the bang for your buck here! I booked a deep tissue massage with Em and he knew exactly how to apply pressure. 95% of the time I get massages, I have to request more pressure. Em really loosened up the tightness in my back, neck, and legs that had been building up from weeks of working out and sleeping on a bad mattress. After one visit, I was pretty much healed. Don't look any further, this is the best spot you'll find! read more

Best massage I've had in ages! I will definitely make this my new spot whenever I need to relax.

I came here on a coworker's recommendation, hoping this spot would reverse the bad experience I received at a different business (Thy Spa San Francisco in Mission Bay) just the day before. Fortunately, Coco restored my faith. Unlike my provider at the other spa, she knew where to find problem areas and which muscles to target without me providing much direction. She found knots in areas of my neck I didn't even know were there! She was also very communicative the whole time and asked how the pressure was throughout service. Focused and attentive. I also liked how this business provides blankets and heats the surface you lie on to help keep you warm, since your back is exposed during service. It was a very rainy and cold day I came in, so this amenity was appreciated. The only thing I wish the front desk mentioned was that there was an early bird special for Yelp users on the day I went in for service. I didn't realize that until I logged in here, and it would have been nice to get the discount. read more
